Hi guys

Just been doing a bit more painting on the model ( after a bit of a couple days off with MAN FLU )

F####d up on part of the fusalarge . Will have to touch it up.

Here are some pics.

Nice Keith....

...are you trying to scare him off, Paul!

Moi? Scare him off?

Frankly that Fine Molds Me 410 scares me off. I keep opening the box and thinking does a kit this small need quite so many parts?

I bought two and sent one to Wurger. That's the reason he's taking so long to build the "Sturmbock" Fw 190.

Thanks Wojtek

 

[Heinz]

Looking good!

 

[ellis995]

Thanks Heinz

Here are some update pics ( Still not happy with these )

 

[Wurger]

Not bad, not bad...

 

[ellis995]

WOW Thanks oooo master Wojtek

Not finished yet as i have to put the finishing touches to it i.e. clear coat , varnish and a bit more exhaust stains etc.

a big inprovement from my first model

 

[Wurger]

That's true Keith a nice improvement here. Could you tell me please how you painted these green spots?

 

[Airframes]

You're dead right Keith - it's a huge improvement. Well done mate. Keep up the good work, and still slow down a bit. If it takes two hours instead of one to do a particular job, it'll be worth it.

Thanks Terry and Wojtek

Wojtek

i drew a shape on the model in pencil and followed the lines with the smallest brush i had which was a 5, 0 brush

 

[Wurger]

I see....a good idea.

 

[Maximowitz]

He's definitely getting there. Well done Keith.



Now... about that 1/72 scale Me 410...

 

[Airframes]

Nah, Paul, give him a real test, make it 1/144th scale!!

 

[Maximowitz]

Nah, Paul, give him a real test, make it 1/144th scale!!

A cruel and unusual test! *snigger*


I think Keith is doing well with his 1/48 and 1/32 scale builds. The more he makes, the more he learns. Perhaps something a bit different would help too? I notice there's a lot of single engine fighter builds going on, how about (gasp!) a bomber?

Dornier 17?

Heinkel 111?

Heinkel 177?

Junkers 88?

What do you think guys? Any suggestions?

 

[Wurger]

Ju-88...

 

[Maximowitz]

Ju 88? Good one! Revell do that big one in 1/32 at a very good price.


He could do a conversion for one of the intruder 88's used by NJG2 over Britain in 1941!

 

[Wurger]

I'm not sure ...a conversion.It might be too difficult for Keith.
